Harry, Bill has served his purpose for the party, his term is over. Send him packing, and bring up the next would be king. This is the same Republican fantasy that has been around for eight years now. Granted there are a lot of Dems stupid enough to capitulate to this Republican fantasy, but fortunately Clinton is not one of them. Clinton ain't going nowhere. The lynch mob will be rebuffed, and Clinton will remain the patriarchal leader of the country. Check this out! Administration Will Not Fight Clinton's Monument Designations WASHINGTON, February 26, 2001 - After much consideration, the Bush Administration has decided not to overturn any of President Clinton's monument designations, which protected millions of acres of land from mining and other development, according to Interior Secretary Gail Norton. Although there are no plans to reverse the designations, Norton was quoted in the Washington Post as saying the Administration, western lawmakers and private property owners will likely try to adjust the boundaries and change the land use designations within the new monuments. President Clinton established 19 national monuments covering over five million acres and also expanded three others. With the exception of one, the remaining monuments were all established during Clinton's last year in office. Norton criticized Clinton's haste in designating the monuments, saying that he failed to confer with state and local officials prior to establishing the monuments. Norton indicated that the monuments needed to be managed in a way that incorporates the current land uses and needs of the local communities. She also went on to say that there is no money available to carry out the management plans, the article reported. "We're now cleaning up after the fact and doing things that should have been done before the monuments were designated," she said. "The monument designations were more show than substance. We now have to provide the substance." Shortly after President Bush took office he promised to review many of Clinton's last minute orders and regulations dealing with the environment among other things. After consideration, however, the Administration determined that it would be too difficult to overturn many of the orders. sports.yahoo.com Another great legacy for Clinton. Add it to a balanced budget, a booming stock market, record low inflation and unemployment, peace and prosperity. Now we have a wonderful environmental legacy as well. Scumbria
